Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a medical imaging technique used in radiology to form pictures of the anatomy and the physiological processes inside the body. MRI scanners use strong magnetic fields, magnetic field gradients, and radio waves to generate images of the organs in the body.
Advanced cardiac life support. Pediatric advanced life support. Fundamental critical care support. Advanced trauma life support ( ATLS) is a training program for medical providers in the management of acute trauma cases, developed by the American College of Surgeons. Similar programs exist for immediate care providers such as paramedics.
Chronic stress has also been associated with other medical conditions such as hypertension, heart disease, diabetes, obesity, and arthritis. The severity varies from person to person. Gender difference can also be an underlying factor. Women are able to take longer durations of stress than men without showing the same maladaptive changes.
